You are always on my mind

Chapter 87

"When the blonde understood what was going on, she just said: wait a minute, and ran like crazy, leaving behind a completely confused and shocked Stefania. "

💭 Cazzo... she left...

That was all the italian managed to think... and then she found herself there kneeling like a fool and completely unresponsive. Danielle, in the other hand, was mentally thanking the excelent condition  that the years of functional training guaranteed her as she ran to her cabin to fetch the engagement ring she had bought for Stefania...

💭 Fuck! I was so overwhelmed,  so happy with all that... I just ran away... shit, I gotta be really quick, otherwise Stef is gonna think I don't want to...

The blonde hurried even more. She had never been able to be as fast as she is right now. In less than 3 minutes, Danielle was back. But as soon as she got back on deck, she didn't see Stefania anywhere.

"Stef..."

No answer.

"Stef, baby..."

Still no reply. The blue-eyed girl started to get nervous. She began to look for her girlfriend everywhere.

"Stef, my love, where are you, babe? Please, show of, my life!"

Total silence  when the personal trainer was already starting to despair, she looked up, where there was a kind of "mezzanine". And the scene she saw broke her heart and made the american girl hate and curse herself. Stefania was leaning on the railing, looking at the horizon while crying, holding the box with the ring in her hands.

The smaller girl ran to her girlfriend.

"Love?" She called cautious.

The silence still deafening the blonde. Then, the ocean-eyed girl approached and called again, touching the attorney's arm:

"Baby..."

The brunette just cast a glance in the direction of the personal trainer  without saying anything.

"Hey..  look, I know I made you..."
"No. Don't say anything. It's okay, Danielle. I understood everything. " Stefania said trying her very best to hold her tears back.
"No, princess, you didn't. And this is all my fault! Forgive me!"
"No, it isn't. It's mine. I misunderstood everything..."
"Yes, you really did. But I'm guilty."
"No. You're not. Don't worry. Look, I'm gonna ask Ricardo for another cabin. So that you'll be able to stay in peace. I'm just getting a little bit of air. But don't worry. Soon you'll be comfortable in your cabin all alone. I won't disturb you."
"What???? Are you crazy? Why would I want to be alone? Stef,  could you please, look at me?" Danielle was terrified.
"Well, I guess after what happened here a few minutes ago, no explanation is needed, is it?"
"Of course it is! Specially because of what you've just said."
"Danielle,  please. Let's not make this any more difficult and embarassing then it already is " The hazel-eyed girl said wipping some tears.
"Yes, that's exactly my plan!" The personal trainer replied desperate.
"Okay. Well, excuse me, I need to talk to the capitain. "
"Stef  stop!"

The italian smiled sarcassticaly...

"What? Wasn't this enough? You still want more, Danielle?
"Yes, I do! But not what you're thinking!" The blue-eyed girl replied seriously staring straight into the italian's eyes.
"Oh, now you can read minds?"
"What? Of course not! But I can read you!"

Stefania didn't say a word, just nodded...

"Stef, honey, please, listen to me."
"No, Danielle,  this is not necessary.  I understood everything.  It's already hurting enough. Please, no need to give the coup of Grace..."
"What are you talking about? Can you please just shut up, sit down and listen to me for a while, for Christ sake?" The blue-eyed girl  yelled in despair.
